I though I was the only one worried, scared, but most of all excited. But I gues we all are. It just feels as if time is not moving fast enough. :w00t:

I just found out I am scheduled for April 7. I have been working toward this since October 08, so the wait is almost over!

I am not required to do a preop but I am starting one on Monday anyway. I will do two Protein shakes and one lean meat and veggies for dinner. I am afraid of the fatty liver possibility.

Glad there are a number of us to share stories and support each other.

I'm hoping my surgery is the latter part of April. I've jumped through all of the hoops; the only thing remaining is insurance approval. I think I've read much of this site- it has been so helpful, especially about the tough work it takes. The info sessions tend to make it all seem simple and effortless- Ha! So thanks to all of you previous posters!

Hello everyone,

I got a date of April 29th, I will be going for all my testing on the 16th of March. I do have a question, my doctor told me if I have a hiatal hernia, he will not band me. Why wouldn't a doctor fix the hernia oppose to the more drastic bypass surgery that he requested I get. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Congrats to all the April Bandsters. Today, I did all my pre-admitting work at the hospital today. I had a complete physical, EKG, XRAY and lots of blood taken. To top it all, there was a 5 hour Nutrition/Lifestyle Modification class.

I learned quite a lot today. April 2nd seem so far away.

BobKat I would post your question on the general discussion board - others may know more since they are further along on their journey.

Good Luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
